I like it!

Damn. Both of those cars look amazing! The wheels just really accentuate the lines of the SVX very well...

Wheels by Koya - detailed
"Freak customs"..here you go..
18x8s 235/40x18 fronts - 35 offset 18x9s 265/35x18 rears, with 40 offset Wheels type is Inox 2 by Koya ..wheel is a multi spoke deep dish with stainless steel lip..with deeper lip on the rears ... 9s..tyres were Falkens [non directionals] and the wheel tyre combo was AUD$2600 all up, so thats about $1300 - $1500 USD [fairly easy to clean as well] Sizings as comp'd to std SVX Tire size results Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revolutions Difference 225/50-16 4.4 in 12.4 in 24.9 in 78.1 in 811 / mile N/A - std 235/40-18 3.7 in 12.7 in 25.4 in 79.8 in 794 / mile 2.2% - front 265/35-18 3.7 in 12.7 in 25.3 in 79.5 in 797 / mile 1.8% - rears here's a side shot of the wheels when they were on my red car.. NOTES Now to accomodate the 9 s in the rear as there was slight rubbing [raised lettering on outside tyre wall catching on wheel arch black plastic/rubber strip in heavy cornering][no damage tho to the tyre or the strip]...camber kits were fitted, in this shot you can just see the effect as the rear wheels were 'pulled in' at the top..compared to the fronts..its by no means aggressive which I have seen [look stupid] on cars where they have struggled to get the wheels to fit..the camber setting at the rear is close to the same used on WRX as my wheel alignment guy owns one himself [WRX] and has played with his to tweek his handling and a bonus was handling seemed even better...more rubber on the road as well..same corners now in the red car now with std rims, the tail seems to move around more, but the ride is a bit softer ...I also adjusted tyre pressures front to back so the "rolling diameters" were the same ..factory is 10% more in the front than the back [32psifrt/29psi rears], anyway ...do a search on it there has been much discussion, I ended up and still run on these rims 40psi front and 29psi rears.. Thats it Hope that helps

Chike - specs
I think I've got that on a printout from the alignment guy after he refitted the wheels and camber pins on to my green car, and the sheet's in the car and the cars in the shed, so I'll dig it out soon, try a scan and PM it to you
Dave
